The later three months, I spotted pretty heavily for the entirity of the three months. I will never take that medication, and would never reccomend it to anyone. My advice is that if you start noticing any of this, talk to your doctor right away. Your doctor could probably determine if it was due to the depo, and help prevent/counteract it.
Didn't mean to scare you, just telling you to keep your eyes open. Most people don't have such an adverse reaction as mine.

I got the shot once already. Nothing really major has happened, except at the end of the three months, I couldn't get the second shot so I started bleeding, and after about a month, I'm still bleeding. I had to start over and take the first shot again just last Saturday.
